Pat’s Point of View

“I was within walking distance of several terrorist attacks” are not words I ever thought I would say.

But today was no ordinary day. Whilst I travelled to work today, 4 bombs exploded in London killing 37 people so far.

I was one stop away from Kings Cross, at the time when one bomb went off, but I had no idea anything was wrong other than a Tube delay (not unusual). Soon afterwards I was on a bus travlling very close to the Russell Square area at the time of the bomb going off on the bus, again no idea what was happening. I was using my iPod so I heard no explosions, but nobody around me seemed to either.

Jenn had to catch a string of buses to get to work because the Tube station near our house was closed. She ended up near Liverpool Street station soon after the bomb went off there (she works nearby).

A work colleague was at Edgware Road station when the bomb went off there. Luckily all he experienced was a loud bang.

It’s amazing that none of us were injured in any way at all. But I’ve gotta say, the sooner we leave London the better. There’s only about 8 days left.
